  1. A very respectable and admirable Truck. Quite an accomplishment building it yourself!
  2. Nice! Were you not worried you'd scratch it,or knock the valve caps off?
  3. Sayes a Man from Turangi?
  4. That was cool! I used to shoot Goats in the Pines at the base of that.
  5. 530 is a cracking chipper.I had one and it was stolen. Parts are easy,repair is easy,its a reliable over built example of German Engineering.
  6. Dump a load of Ketamine in the Horses Trough and then play some Obital on a Stereo.You lay the Hedge and the Horsies have a pleasent sleepy.
  7. Spot on that Man!
  8. There are a few back home.My Dad had one.
  9. I want some AG Tyres for my Mog and Mud Flaps with "Mike" on one and "Hill" on the other. Tastefully done in Gold Glitter.
  10. Still totally the groundies fault.And it normally is when lowering operations go awry. The Climber has a physical interest in not overloading the Stem or Rigging gear.The groundie has somewhere to run...
  11. "Spurs of Wrath" are forged in Hell from Nazi's Hip Replacements and flow from the depths of Satans lair by winged Monkey's.
  12. Groundies Fault.
  13. Classy Shopping at your local provider of Quality and Taste! Buy White Spruce Christmas Tree with Lights - 6ft at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for Christmas trees.
  14. Cheap 180 Amp Mig and a Huge Three Phase Stick welder that gets very little use.
  15. Looking Forward to to! Just bought a Grapple for the Digger.
  16. Exactly. My Spikes or "THE SPUR'S OF WRATH" as I like to call them,are a decade old.I only bought them because my former pari were nicked.
  17. I wonder if a Black Woman slagging of White People would be on remand right now?
  18. If the Ground is fairly easy just drop them.The Top will likely shatter if they are big,that might absorb some of the impact,I don't know.
  19. Get a Turbo on your Wagon and go from there.IF you do choose to upgrade to a bigger mog down the Road,having a Turbo'd Mog is going to make it more desirable.
  20. The old School methods have their place when for what ever reason you don't have the modern gear on site.Lowering devices and pulley's speed up removals by virtue of smoother lowering of often larger peices than what is prudent with natural Crotch and Trunk wraps.
  21. I'm in Bergen,but I think there are members on here from Ålesund. Thats further north than the Faroe Islands.
  22. Wasn't me up there Rob. But,it you make your back cut below your Gob and when the Top is committed,power through the Hinge.There is no chance of the Top taking your Saw and you negate the "Twang" as you put it.
  23. As above. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWV_4TyzqD4]felling 005 - YouTube[/ame]
  24. Really old Pine is great firewood.Smaller stuff is ok as well.As good as Birch anyway.
  25. Looks like a good job mate,well done! IF you are short of Wedges on an Oak.Cut some out of a Branch,they work pretty well.
